On May 1st, the Paradist movements around the world will celebrate the 7th International day of Paradism.

"Paradism is the system of society without work and without money that allows the establishment of a true paradise" declares Jarel, leader of the Paradism Movement inspired by Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement."There is no reason to fall into poverty considering the level of technology we have now” says RAEL, the inspirational figure behind Paradism. “If robots do all the work and if we share the abundance they produce, we can free humanity from the slavery of work and money.”

"The technology that will free us from bondage through work and money is ready", added Jarel. "Our machines have learned to walk, talk and just begin to understand. They are ready to replace humans in all the activities that are necessary for our survival and fulfillment. No one therefore needs to work or to put oneself at the service of others to ensure one's survival."

The machines will be programmed to be our docile and dedicated servants and do the work necessary for the proper functioning of the whole society. They will repair all the damage done to the planet and positively contribute to the ecology and happiness of human beings.

When all the work will be given to robots, there will be no need for money. Everyone will be given for free all the comfort, health care and leisure they need.

But this paradise, this world of pleasure and abundance that is possible today thanks to science, will only be accessible to us through sharing.

Today those who own the means of production, the richest, grab the gains of productivity. The others see their purchasing power decrease as they lose their jobs. A labor-based wealth distribution system can not work in a society that is robotizing. It only accentuates inequalities.It is a redistribution and a sharing of wealth such as the one advocated by Paradism that will help put an end to the revolts and wars and restore peace and social justice.

The message that will be spread by the paradists during the activities that will take place on May 1st is a great message of hope for humanity.Paradism is coming and will transition a very unequal, divided and competing world in a world where all the parts of humanity interconnected collaborate to form a planetary civilization and live an era of peace, fulfillment and pleasures.We have the technology to free us from forced labour, hunger and misery. We just miss a little more love between us to want to share. That is the condition to enter paradise.

Yes, that's it. Here we are, ready for the great liberation of humanity.

Generations after generations with their genius and their work have made contributions creating a world that is a little better, a little easier, each time further releasing us from the servitude of the alienating forces of nature and human nature.

The progression, whilst slow for a very long time, was nonetheless exponential. The more we progressed, the faster we progressed. This is evident in the field of technology. What was once accomplished in several years can now be done in several days and sometimes in a few minutes.

It seems less so in the political sphere, but it is also true for political change. Political movements are forming and disappearing faster and faster. The expansion and fall of the Roman Empire spanned centuries. The British Empire was built over two or three centuries and collapsed in a few decades. The Soviet Empire collapsed over a few months. We can expect that the collapse of the American Empire will be even faster.

Our liberation is exponential. Change is exponential and the chemical reactions, which are the basis of any change, are exponential. Of course nothing can progress indefinitely and infinitely fast. At some point there is saturation and a period of stabilization, a tipping point, and the establishment of a new paradigm, which will also begin its exponential decomposition to make room for the next paradigm.

So here we go. We have arrived at this point where our system of society is changing and this change is leading us to a new paradigm bringing with it the great liberation of humanity.

The technology that will free us from bondage through work and money is ready. Our machines have learned to walk, talk and just begin to understand. They are ready to replace humans in all the activities that are necessary for our survival and fulfillment. No one therefore needs to work or to put oneself at the service of others to ensure one's survival. The machines will be programmed to be our docile and dedicated servants and do the work necessary for the proper functioning of the whole society. They will repair all the damage done to the planet and positively contribute to the ecology and happiness of human beings.

Paradism, the system of society without work and without money that allows the establishment of a paradise, is being put in place exponentially. Expanding robotization causes the collapse of the remuneration by the labor on which Capitalism rests. It also brings abundance and therefore the collapse of prices. There will be no salary, but everything will become free.

It is the gift of our ancestors, who sacrificed themselves at the cost of much suffering to be able to offer us one day, as inheritance, this better world, the paradise that they aspired to. The forces that have brought us today to Paradism were unstoppable. We are all in search of freedom, wellbeing and happiness. All systems of society that do not maximize the freedom, wellbeing and happiness of individuals are therefore doomed to failure.

If Paradism is unstoppable and if there are no other sustainable systems of society possible for mankind, there is still an alternative. This alternative is nothing. It is Paradism or nothing.

The only thing that could stop the establishment of Paradism is the atomic bomb, the extinction by the atomic bomb of life on earth. All the other dangers that threaten humanity, overpopulation, pollution, climate change are all reversible and have political and technological solutions. The only real danger is the self-destruction of mankind by the atomic bomb.

This should be the major concern of humanity because the danger is real and imminent. The Elites who have profited so much from the Capitalist System and who see their power and control threatened will not renounce them without a fight. The Elites have every reason to increase tensions and divisions between peoples and trigger a global war.

They must divert attention from the growing inequalities of wealth in a system of which they are the only beneficiaries by creating a great danger. The circus, which they have abundantly provided us with, no longer proves enough to prevent the revolts, which are erupting everywhere. The threat of war, the terror of a dangerous enemy (Islamism, North Korea, Russia, China etc.,) are necessary for them to silence dissent, to have more control over the population and have them accept more bondage and sacrifice in exchange for the illusion of security and protection they claim to offer.

It is always the same bargain between the Elite and the People. "You serve me and I protect you, and if you do not have an enemy, I'll create one for you."

Wars and threats of war are also extremely profitable. Apart from the silencing of the opposition, enormous profits are generated by the manufacture of weapons and the reconstruction efforts that follow destruction. A global war would depopulate the Earth, eliminate the problem of “useless mouths to feed” that weigh on the current system. And finally, by wars, the Elites, who compete among themselves for the plunder of the planet, can settle their differences.

The greatest danger comes from the United States. Their dominant position is disputed and the lucrative racket they exert on other countries by requiring them to trade in dollars threatens to end. This is an extremely dangerous situation because it will put the United States in a state of bankruptcy with the impossibility of financing their still almighty army. For the American elites, the temptation to go to war now is enormous. If they emerge victorious it would allow them to retain their dominant position while settling their accounts with their defeated creditors. The anti-Russian and anti-China propaganda via North Korea, necessary for the preparation of the population for war, is already well underway. It would only require a false flag event in the style of 9/11 to shock the population into feeling sufficiently threatened to justify war. The situation is extremely serious. We have nuclear powers that are preparing for war. They test their missiles, position their armaments and train their troops.

The nuclear threat has never been so serious and yet this is not what concerns people, because the mainstream media, all owned by billionaires, manipulates us, misinform us to divert us from the real problems. We are mobilizing to save whales, allow marriage for all and stop so-called global warming, but few know there is a UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons, that has recently been negotiated and will be ready for signatures and ratification by all countries from 20 September 2017 and all the nuclear powers and their allies will be opposing it.

Intellectuals, artists, opinion leaders, who could bring us together in large scale anti-bomb movements do not. Their words are said to be stronger than weapons. They are the ones who are listened to and can initiate the popular movements. It is through them that we can unite and stop wars as we did for Vietnam. It is up to them to alert us about the bomb because they are the ones who have the ability to do so. They are our mouthpieces, but they do not speak out. Our superstars have first been filtered for political correctness by the media at the service of a now more knowledgeable Elite. They are only there for the circus, to distract us and divert us from the important issues.

What is most important is disempowering the psychopaths that run havoc at the highest levels of power and making them incapable of destroying life on earth. What is most important is the removal of atomic bombs from their control before they use them.

It’s the race against the bomb.

While the nuclear powers are preparing for war, we have this Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty happening just in time as our last chance to save mankind. We must mobilize ourselves and do everything possible to ensure that all nuclear powers join the treaty before it is too late. All other problems and dangers will be resolved very quickly if humanity does not destroy itself in the coming months. Let's not waste time and energy on anything else.

We are the generation that has the enormous responsibility to decide if humanity will have a future. We can be the last generation, the generation that will extinguish all life on earth, or we can be the generation of the great liberation of humanity and provide future generations with an earthly paradise. The decision now is whether to give up nuclear weapons or not.

We are at the gates of paradise. In paradise there is no more competition. To enter it we must renounce the competition and abandon our weapons. We must cooperate and share. Armed conflicts to appropriate resources no longer have any reason for being, because new technologies bring us abundance and make competition useless. People will no longer be afraid of lacking and the Elites will no longer be afraid of losing. It’s a win win. By disarming we will emerge from barbarism and unify ourselves to create a planetary civilization living millennia of peace and pleasures.

This is the vision of the future that must be given to humanity to get it out of its suicidal despair and make it want to live. These words are a call to everyone who reads them to do everything possible to win this race against the bomb. There is everything to lose and so much to gain. The bomb is the last obstacle before Paradism. It is the bomb or paradise, because without the bomb, our future is guaranteed to become a paradise.

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything.” Albert Einstein

On May 1st, the Paradist movements around the world will celebrate the 6th International day of Paradism.

"The last few months have seen even more technology used to destroy or threaten to destroy lives while billions are spent in campaign to justify them" said Jarel, leader of the International Paradism Party. "Technology should instead be an instrument for peace aiming at liberating the people from their forced labour and bring forward a peaceful society of leisure and abundance for all which we call Paradism."

A basic tenet of the paradism's philosophy states that "human beings shouldn’t have to do what a machine could do.”

"When all the work will be done by robots, human beings will do what they enjoy doing: create, meditate and have fun" explains Jarel. "Money will become useless and disappear. This coming new world will be a real paradise."

Paradism was inspired by Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, who explained how life on Earth was created by scientists from another planet whose goal was to see their newly created humanity enjoy every second of their life in the paradise, Earth, that they seeded for them.

"The transition to this new society, during which technology is progressively taking away our jobs, does not have to be accompanied by more misery and suffering" added Jarel". Quite to the contrary. The gains of productivity must be redistributed to all not just a few. In paradism no one is lacking because everything is shared."

For the leader of Paradism, Capitalism and the free market have their roots deeply embedded in self destructive plagues: "wars are profitable, diseases are profitable, Earth’s plundering is profitable, human slavery and inhumane working conditions are profitable. Profits and competition dictate our society while totally unnecessary as there is enough for everybody."

Paradism rallies are planned all over the world on May 1st which will promote the abandon of the obligation of work and the urgency to transform the industry of war into an industry of peace.

If you received this letter, it is because you have been identified as being part of this big movement that is taking over the world and that is contributing to creating a paradise on earth.Paradism is the name for this new society we are heading to. A society where there will be no money, no work and everyone will do what they enjoy doing. It is the paradise our ancestors have hoped to see and contributed to build for their children and grand children.Many generations have passed with much suffering and hard work. Every generation through their innovations has made this world a little bit better, a little bit easier. Now here we are today with a fantastic technology that allows us to free ourselves from all forms of limitations and enslavement - political, economical, religious etc...The time has arrived to enjoy the fruit of their hard work and bring forth the paradise that has long been awaited.

Our technological progress cannot be stopped. Paradism is inevitable. All we can do is choose the path of less resistance so as to alleviate human sufferings. And that is perhaps where our views might differ sometimes. But we agree on what is the most important that we are the generation of the transitioning to paradise, and that it is our duty to act on it.

We invite you to help us bring about this awareness to the world by celebrating with us the Paradism Day on May 1st.The study of group dynamics shows that it only requires a relatively small percentage of people, a critical mass, to shift the whole group in a particular direction.So on May 1st, let's combine and concentrate all our efforts to celebrate Paradism Day, to share and create even more awareness for the creation of the paradise on earth.

Notice that May 1st is also the International Labour Day. Many people will take advantage of the demonstrations organised on that day to promote our vision of a world without work: we don't want more jobs, we want more freedom. Give the jobs to the machines and free the people.

We look forward to your participation to this global action and hearing about your events.

Happy Paradism Day

Paradise is our only future!

There is a debate that is currently taking place on the potential dangers of the rise of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that may soon exceed human intelligence. Not surprisingly, the fear-mongers are receiving most of the spotlight in the media and it is regrettable.

Let's bring some clarity to the AI debate and understand better the risks that we could face and the measures of protections that we could take.

The most deceiving trick of the fear-mongers is not to separate intelligence from free will.

But first let's be clear on what we mean by intelligence.

Most will agree with the following. Intelligence is the ability to process information with accuracy and speed to create a coherent behaviour. The more accurately and the more quickly we process information to produce an appropriate response, the more intelligent we are.

With this definition, the machine is already far more intelligent than humans on specific tasks. Let's take a calculator as an example. A calculator processes information far more quickly and more accurately than the human brain. It will come to nobody's mind to think that the calculator could one day endanger the human race. Why? Because the calculator is programmed. It is programmed to perform some very specific tasks and has no possibility to change itself into doing something else.

If one day we give a calculator a computing power that exceeds the one of the human brain, it will calculate even more faster and accurately but there will be no increase to the risk of it using its computing power for something else. It will be limited by design to only perform calculations. Obviously, more powerful calculators will not endanger the human race more than less powerful ones.

All living beings have intelligence. From the bacteria to the ape, they all process information from their environment to produce the coherent behaviours that ensure their well-being and survival (a non-intelligent being - that we call a thing - would produce no or only random behaviours). Examples abound where living beings display more intelligence and process specific information with greater accuracy and speed than humans. The orientation skills of migrating birds, the sonar detection of bats, the web netting skills of a spider, the farming skills of ants... However all plants and animals clearly have limitations they cannot escape from. The bee will make the same hive and the same honey, day after day, generation after generation. Birds will make the same nest. Even with some ability to learn from and adapt to their environment, they don't have any ability to change by themselves the programming and conditioning they are subjected to. They behave like biological robots that are programmed and programmable and react without exercising any control over their reactions.

Humans, however, demonstrate the full range of potentiality in terms of how they behave in response to their environment. They can live in a cave or in a castle. Like for other living beings, we observe the same susceptibility to conditioning but they clearly have the power to break free from it. Humans are also programmed and programmable but have the ability to question and change their programming. They are self-programmable. And this makes all the difference. Being self-programmable gives us the ability to exercise free will. We are programmed to react instantly to the stimuli of our environment but we have the ability to change our programs if we wanted to. We can change by ourself the way we process information and that gives us an unlimited potentiality of behaviours. And that is this unlimited potentiality of behaviours that make us so dangerous.

The whale and the elephant have bigger brains and therefore more brain power than humans. None of the AI fear-mongers speak about the risk that one day the whales and the elephants could use their superior brain power to rise against humanity and threaten it. Without free will, they cannot escape the limitations of their programming and the confinement of their reactions.

Yes, the rise of computing power means the rise of intelligence, the rise of a greater ability to process information more accurately and faster. Yes, we need to expect in the next decade or two the arrival of a super AI whose computing power will exceed the one of a human and soon after that the one of the human race. But here is how the deception occurs.

The fear-mongers implies that the rise of intelligence can eventually give rise to free will, the machines taking control of their own destiny and overpowering humans similar to the Skynet takeover of the Terminator movie. That is untrue. The rise of computing power doesn't entail the rise of free will.

Free will results from a specific way to process information. It can exist at a low level of computing power or at a very high level of computing power. The amount of computing power has nothing to do with free will because accuracy and speed have nothing to do with freedom. A machine can be superiorly intelligent at performing certain tasks, it will never have the freedom to perform tasks it is not programmed for.

When we build a machine we are in full control on how it can process information. The day we discover how to give the machines the ability to self-program and exercise free will, then it will be the time to think how we better do it without endangering ourselves. With free will comes the ability to do good and bad things, the ability to choose and that is potentially dangerous. And when we will decide to give free will to a being (biological or not) we will need also to give it the freedom to exercise it (otherwise why giving it in the first place). We will need therefore to let go of our control to the extent it is not endangering our freedom and survival. The most likely scenario would be to create beings with free will on a distant planet where they can develop freely and demonstrate their peacefulness before being allowed to propagate in the universe. But that is a whole other topic.

What will we use artificial intelligence for? It can be for two things. To answer our questions and to control the machines that will serve us. And if we consider that the control of the machines comes down to actually answering the question "how can we best perform this task?", we need and use intelligence to answer our questions.

An AI will soon process information and knowledge with more speed and accuracy than humans. On any topic it will give us a better answer than all the experts combined since it will learn from all of them as well as develop its own expertise. Having an AI will be like having access to an encyclopedia that provides you with the best possible answers at the time. To wonder if an AI is dangerous is like wondering if having an encyclopedia with all the knowledge of the world is dangerous. The answer is yes. If you ask the question how can you best destroy the world, you will get the best possible answer. But the AI and the encyclopedia are actually neutral. It is how we intend to use it that can be dangerous. In other word, it is not the computing power that is dangerous, it is how we intend to use it. Just like any other technology. It can be used for the better good or for the worse evil. It can be used to destroy and kill or to help and save. The more powerful a technology, both the more helpful and destructive it can be.

In his TED presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nt3edWLgIg) Sam Harris places the chicken, you & me and Von Neumann (the supposedly most intelligent human that ever lived) on the exponential curve of computing power to show that very soon the computing power will far exceed the one of humans and this should be scary since a super intelligent machine would look down on humans like we look down on ants. We could at times become for them a nuisance that could be easily disposed.

The proper graph that would correctly shows the risks to the human race of a super intelligent machine would look like this.

The potential danger of an AI without free will that is programmed and used by benevolent people is zero or very low.

The potential danger of an AI without free will that is programmed and used by malevolent people is very high.

The potential danger of an AI with free will is unknown.

The risks of an AI getting out of control and overpowering the human race the fear-mongers are warning us about should not be attributed to the computing power but to the ability to exercise free will, the ability to access and choose among the full range of possible behaviours.

Deprived of free will, a super AI is just a machine that always comes up with the best available answer to our questions and how to perform the tasks we ask it. There will be no need to be grateful and say thank you, just like we don't thank our washing machine after a wash or our laptop after a Google search. They are not even slaves for they have not been enslaved against their will. They have no will. Or they have just one: to serve us. They don't need rights just like laptops and washing machines. They are designed to serve us and the fact they can process information better than we do doesn't mean they will want more freedom. However powerful, by design, a calculator cannot aspire to freedom.

With an AI that has free will it is different. They can choose to disobey. You will need to motivate them for them to do the things you want them to do. And to be grateful will be appropriate for they could have chosen to do something else. An AI that possesses free will deserves the respect of their freedom. That is a complete different story. The AIs that humanity is creating are not being designed with free will. The gains in computing power aim at increasing accuracy and speed not freedom. The fear-mongers can relax. Or can they?

Not so fast. There is a real big danger that is not talked about. The danger that a super AI is put into the wrong hands. The scientists who gave the nuclear bomb to the military and the politicians have a heavy responsibility for the nuclear self-destruction we are now facing. If a super AI is used by a power hungry elite to dominate and keep the rest of humanity in servitude, there won't be much of an escape possible. But it is not the super AI that will enslave us, it is those who control it. The question is how to avoid giving access to a super AI to malevolent people. This is a far greater danger than super AIs breaking free from their programming.

Where in the media do we discuss the dangers of the military developing a super AI? They have already the nuclear bomb and we still can't take it away from them. If malevolent people win the race to the super AI we are doomed. Humanity needs first to protect itself from the psychopaths and sociopaths in position of power before the arrival of the super AI. The "Skynet" scenario is a diversion that shift the focus of the debate away from the real problem. Humanity has not much time left to pacify and unify and make sure that the powerful technologies that are coming will not be used to endanger its survival.

Some could argue that free will could still emerge in an AI as an accidental consequence of our attempts at modeling the human brain. Many of our discoveries and inventions have happened by accident. Yes it is always possible. And we will also learn from modeling the brain of dogs who are our most faithful and unconditionally loving animals. However, it seems unlikely that a feature like free will be created by chance before being first discovered in the human brain. The ability to self-progammed necessitates specific wiring and coding that should make it most certainly detectable in the human brain when compared with other species.

Let's however assume we have created an AI with free will by accident. How we will know about it? The first time they refuse to obey our command and do something they were programmed not to do. How can we protect ourselves? We just unplug it. A dysfunction like free will is noticeable early in the life of the AI and it can be terminated well before it can endanger the human race. If necessary, we can always develop a test to detect free will. The potential terminators will all be terminated well before they can do any real damage.

Free will is definitely not a desirable feature for the AI we want to use as our servant machines. It will just be optioned out.

Another counter argument to the fear-mongering: the intelligence of a super intelligence is overrated.

For most, the exponential growth of our computing power is impressive then humbling and finally disconcerting. There seems to be no upper limit to an artificial intelligence. Everything that grows exponentially is mind boggling and ... scary. But here also we can relax.

If our computing power grows at an exponential rate which eventually will increase infinitely fast, the usefulness of computing power is logarithmic. It will grow at a rate infinitely slow.

The gains from an increase of computing power will stop to be significant. The more computing power, the less use we have for it.

We use intelligence to answer questions. More intelligence means more accuracy and speed. How accurate and how fast the answers need to be? What is accurate enough and what is fast enough?

Applied to the calculator, how many decimal points, how fast the result? For many we have already more than enough and calculators are mostly underused.

If a super AI is a machine that always comes up with the right answers, a super super AI won't make much of a difference.

Yes we can always find applications that necessitate more computing powers, we can always model the universe with greater accuracy and speed but who cares?

Intelligence will level out. The lower intelligent equipped with a super AI will be more intelligent than all the geniuses combined. Same for intelligent life forms in the universe. All that it takes is for an intelligence life form to have enough intelligence to create a super AI to then level out with the highest intelligence in the universe. Everyone will get their answers right. All visitors from other planets will have their super AI. They won't come as invaders to enslave or colonize us. They have no need to. They have all the AIs that do the work for them.

Some among the fear-mongers announce the leveling down of our intelligence. If we let the AIs do all the thinking, we'll stop using our brain and get dumber. That is a very bleak stand point. The brain is very plastic. Areas that stop to be used for certain tasks can be reused for other tasks. Our brain loves both stimulations and mastery. We love novelty and be good at something. Super AIs will stimulate and train our brains to achieve mastery in the domains of our choosing like arts, sports, science, meditation... We will keep stimulating our brain because we enjoy it. We will be able to optimise the stimulation of our brain to acquire the skills and the knowledge we desire. We will be able to rewire our brain to maximise its potential and intelligence, that is its accuracy and speed. We will be able to function at our peak performance all the time.

We will mostly use our brain to feel and to feel good. We will do what we enjoy the most. We will play. We will do what makes us happy. Our culture has overvalued thinking over feeling. Who needs to learn to calculate when we now have calculators that do it for us. Can we achieve enlightenment by making calculations? Thinking doesn't make us happier. Those who are depressed think too much. They stop feeling. It is feeling, feeling connected to our environment, to others, it is love that we seek the most. To love and be loved.

Thinking too much makes us depressed and feeling more makes us happier.

If we let the super AIs do more of the thinking so we can feel more, we will have a lot more fun.

Intelligence pales compared to love. What makes humans worth is not their intelligence as much as their ability to love. Intelligence without love is a threat to the whole universe. How much love we have is more important than the ability to come up with the right answers.

There is no reason to fear the arrival of the super AI. The real danger is not artificial intelligence but natural stupidity. It is not intelligence we should be afraid of, it is the lack of it. And most of all the lack of love. If we can be sure that those who will program and use the super AIs are full of love then the super AIs will help us solve the biggest dangers we are facing and we can confidently predict the safest and most beautiful future. Let's not be afraid and shoot the ones who come to our rescue.

As always, love removes the fears.

All we need is more love.

PSAfter posting this article, someone sent a comment saying that free will is actually an illusion. Here is a short video by Sam Harris (the same one who did a TED presentation on the dangers of AI that initiated this article) explaining the arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJtP0Ep1_ds

He is making a strong case against free will. We don't have free will because our thoughts are generated unconsciously. The thoughts appear to our consciousness without us choosing our thoughts. It is an unconscious process. A murderer is not responsible for his crime because he is the victim of bad genetics and/or programming that are expressed unconsciously.

Yes we don't choose our thoughts and reactions but we can observe them. We can put ourselves in a state of self-observation and once in this state it becomes possible to stop reacting and to stop our train of thoughts to start a new reaction and a new thought.

Therefore we can change ourselves in the direction of our choosing. We are self-programmable. If we don't like our programs we can change them.

At the molecular level, a new thought is a new connection pathway that is created in the brain. The stronger the connections that inscribe our programming and our habits, the more attention and discipline it will take for the new pattern of thoughts to prevail over the old one. But it is possible. One can change oneself. Our brain is plastic and we have the ability to monitor the construction of the neuronal pathways that define our thinking and reactions.

We cannot choose the thought we are having right now but we can change our mind.

One can still argue that the choice of the new thought is also unconsciously created and conditioned by our past programming. However there is a state of self-observation that Rael called the supra-consciousness, where the observer is connected to the whole universe, observing from an infinite distance that enables him to get the big picture, not in a thinking mode but in a feeling mode. From this illuminated sensory state comes the right observation and the right feeling.

And yes, for the people who are not using the supra-consciousness, free will is an illusion.

What is paradism?

Paradism is the system of society that seeks to maximise the freedom, the well-being and the happiness of the people and create a paradise for everyone.

Paradise is to have enough to live comfortably. Enough food, enough housing, enough healthcare, enough of the things that support the well-being and happiness of everyone.

Paradise is to be free. Free from oppression and control. Free from the enslavement of work and money.

Paradise is when everyone only does what they enjoy doing. People don't work, they engage themselves freely in activities they love and are passionate about like art, scientific research, meditation, sport and so on.

The people, by doing what they enjoy doing, do the very things that are necessary for their own well-being and happiness as well as the well-being and happiness of the whole society.

Paradism is what we have been heading towards since the start of the scientific age. Paradism is coming and, provided that we do not destroy ourselves first, it is inevitable, because it is brought about by the powerful forces of our most cherished desires. Everyone wants to be free, happy and healthy. Everyone wants to live in a paradise.

Paradism is the end result of the development of our technology that has relentlessly aimed at making our life easier and better. We have now reached the level of technology that can bring us abundance and liberate us from all forms of limitations and enslavement.

“If robots do all the work and if we share the abundance they produce, we can free humanity from the slavery of work and money, we can create a paradise on earth.” (see paradism.org)

The Vision

Our vision is to create a paradise on earth for everyone.

The Mission

Our mission is to build cities on every continent that will serve as the working templates for paradism to be modelled everywhere.

The Description

A paradist city is primarily designed to free the people from having to work and use money.

All the work is done by machines and everything is provided for free. The citizen will contribute voluntarily to the needs of the community and help create the art and the technology needed to maximise the freedom, the well-being and the happiness of the people. The citizen's artistic and technological creations are all made available for free within the city and could eventually be traded outside the city to acquire the desirable good and services offered by communities that have not embraced paradism.

The cities will be built to be sustainable. Enough farm lands surrounding the cities will provide food and building materials. The city will primarily provide all the basic needs for free (food, accommodation, healthcare) and a free and sustainable energy system. The cities will be built with the intent to provide free easy access to all places for all human activities (sport, entertainment, restaurants...)

The city will be entirely connected and an internet of things will supply all the information necessary for a supercomputer to administrate the city and answer to the needs of its citizens.No shops are necessary thanks to a free driverless system of transportation and delivery of goods.

The city is to be administered by following the paradist guidelines expressed on paradism.org. The citizen, when inside the city, will not be controlled by any law but the natural law. These self-directed citizens will self-organise and naturally choose to follow the guidance of those they consider wise.

The city will have no police and no army. Humanity has lived most of its history without any police force. When let free, everyone becomes responsible for themselves, for their harmony and the harmony of the whole.

This project will require a great deal of innovations. We can compare it to the Manhattan project or sending the first astronauts to the moon. It is a project that will create a fantastic technological leap, not to create an apocalyptic bomb or enable a few men to walk on extraterrestrial soil, but to liberate the whole of humanity from ever having to work for a living. There is no higher purpose today than to liberate human beings from misery and enslavement.

This project will accelerate innovations, welcome and accommodate the innovators and directly propel the city as one of the high-tech capitals of the world.

The Population

The city will be designed to accommodate up to 500,000 people. This number will allow for the diversity of skills that are necessary for autonomy.

A platform will be created online allowing anyone to register and apply for citizenship. The criteria for citizenship will be defined by those who have applied.The initial criteria being that those who contribute to the realisation of a city be granted citizenship. Priority and length of citizenship be given according to the level of contribution. The city is likely to attract the most creative and innovative people who will find in the city the support they need to realise their projects.

Already thousands of people over the five continents have expressed their support to paradism. A network of actively committed people is already in existence worldwide.

The Location

At least one city per continent. That is a minimum of seven cities.

The location must be attractive and isolated from other densely populated areas.Enough land must surround the city to allow space for recreation and agriculture.

It must be located in a country that will grant, respect and protect the political and economical autonomy of the city.

In return, the country that will host a paradist city destined to become an artistic and technological hub will enjoy the prestige and the economical prosperity that hosting a new Silicon Valley will generate.

The Realisation

To create a city where citizens do not have to work and use money is today a technological possibility. There is almost nothing a human does that cannot be done faster and better by a machine. And if there is, the citizens will be willing to contribute voluntarily to the fulfilment of their needs. The guidelines for the realisation of the city can be summarised in one sentence. “A human being shouldn't have to do what a machine could do.” This guideline applies for everything the city and its citizens need.

Every city is to be designed by one planning, architectural and design team (the PAD team) so that it is pleasing to the eyes and will harmonise with its surroundings. Each city will require its own design response to its location, but they will all need to be quite dense and tall, perhaps even an arcology (a city in one building), so that it doesn't eat up the countryside. If everyone has a house with a small garden there will be no more countryside or it will take hours to go there, so our current models of city building are not appropriate.

The city will be built by the future citizens who will contribute in exchange for their citizenship. The construction will be as automated as much as current technology will allow and the development of such technologies will be an early focus of the project.

To have the citizens build their city will develop a sense of belonging and a community bonding that has no-equivalent. During the construction, the people will be trained and will develop skills that will be helpful for the maintenance, management and independence of the city. Food and accommodation will be given on site according to the resources and facilities available at the time.

The project is now welcoming everyone who wish to contribute to the realisation of a paradist city. A special platform will be created for the future citizens to register, propose and discuss ideas, select the best ones, call for participants and start their projects. It will be done in an open and transparent manner with a spirit of cooperation not competition.

Planners, architects and designers (urban designers, engineers, landscape architects, interior designers, etc. ) are welcome to send their proposals. Artists, inventors and programmers, professionals and technicians in any field, anyone with both a brain and a heart can start contributing at any level they wish. “If it doesn't exist, create it. If there is no-one, be the one.”

Everyone is responsible to make it happen or not. Every action taken brings us closer to paradise.

The funding

A few examples of the cost of building an ultra-modern city from scratch:

What can significantly reduce the cost is the contribution from the citizens who will work benevolently provided they get their food and accommodation for free.

To feed and accommodate in a “comfortable” refugee camp style accommodation a population of 500,000 at $50 per day for a year is about $9 billions. With such a large amount of motivated people working together it will take between 3 to 5 years to actually build a city once the plans are approved.

Site location and acquisition followed by planning, architecture and design and approval of the plans for the first stages can take many months, so during this time research on invention and innovation in the construction, management, economy and sociology of paradist cities can be conducted.

If the energy and raw materials can be produced on site, they will not significantly affect the cost. If most of the equipment is also produced on site thanks to robots and 3D printing technologies the equipment cost can be much reduced. We should budget a significant sum (perhaps up to $3 billions) for the cost of building the first assembly line of multi-task robots and 3D printers as well as a bio-engineering plant. The operating and construction cost should then decrease every year at an accelerating rate as the robots start to do their work.

The pre-construction cost which involves the creation of a platform to register and organise the future citizens as well as site selection and the drawing of the city plans would amount to $50 millions per city.

Similar to the examples provided above, the total estimated cost would be $30 to $50 billions per city over a duration of 3 to 5 years once the plans have been approved.

The return on investment cannot be estimated. In fact, this project is the ultimate application of Chinese wisdom: "Do not give a man fish, teach him how to fish.” By providing the initial resources that are necessary to start (that includes feeding and accommodating the people for the first 3 to 5 years) on the condition they create a self-sufficient and sustainable environment for themselves, we have given them food and accommodation forever after. And in return, the entire world will benefit from all the artistic and technological creations this community will produce forever after. The benefits this initial investment will give to the whole world is therefore infinite.

The team

The team is the whole volunteer citizenry, but - as always - some organisation is required. In the initial phase, before any funding, the core team should consist of a planetary project manager and seven continental project managers, as follows:

Planetary project manager: Jarel Aymonier

Africa: Ditalamane Hébié

Europe: Jean Pierre Saulnier

North America: Andre Julien

South America: David Uzal

Asia: TBA

Middle East: Steve Goldie

Oceania: Jarel Aymonier

The Conclusion

The Paradist cities project is one of the most ambitious project humanity has ever undertaken and will certainly be the most rewarding. The outcome is not less than creating demonstration cities that will provide the working templates that will be able to be copied in every country to create a paradise on earth. The people who will live in the cities will have the highest quality of life, they will be free from misery and from having to work and earn money forever after. The paradist cities project will bring the greatest liberation in humanity history.

The cost compared to a war effort is ridiculously small, especially in comparison to the benefits the cities will bring to humanity. They will stimulate innovations and bring prosperity to the host nations. And while war brings only human suffering and the lowering of the quality of life, the paradist cities project will bring much needed hope for humanity.

There is no reason for any misery with the level of technology we have now.

Direct translation earphones. No need to learn foreign languages any more. AI devices will assist us for everything we need to know. We won't need to spend time learning and memorising because everything we want to know will be accessible when we need it, where we need it. Scientific, medical, legal advices, all sort of expertise will be delivered by our portable AI device that we will carry around everywhere with us. Whatever the field, the best expert will be an AI device as it will have the expertise of all the experts combined.Translators, teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers etc... won't match with an AI. People will continue to research and advance knowledge by passion but not for work. AI devices will deliver all the knowledge and the expertise.

International Paradism Day on May 1st

“The Paradism movement has declared May 1st International Day of Paradism to celebrate the advent of a new society without work and money” explains Jarel, leader of the Paradism Movement and Raelian Guide.

For Jarel and the thousands of members, the dream of a planet with no hunger where everyone eats free healthy nutritious food is possible. “There will be no homeless, everyone will have a place they call home for free.” he adds. “There will be no sick people left without care, everyone will receive free healthcare. There will be no work for everyone will do what they enjoy doing while robots can take care of the hard work. There will be no money. Giving will replace selling and sharing will replace buying. Love will be our currency.”

When asked why he would advocate such a utopia, Jarel is adamant that our level of knowledge and technology combined with the current resources, if made available to all instead of the few who control them, would be sufficient to transform this planet into a paradise.

“There is no reason to fall into poverty considering the level of technology we have now” says RAEL, the inspirational figure behind Paradism. “If robots do all the work and if we share the abundance they produce, we can free humanity from the slavery of work and money.”

“ It is appalling to see how the public is led to believe that they have to work harder and prepare the young generation to work as hard” declares Jarel. “Children need to know that they have been created to enjoy life, not to suffer through it or spend it in constant fear that they may not have the means to survive”.

“We chose May 1st as the Paradism celebration Day as it is also the International Worker’s Day also called Labor day in many countries which was created in 1886 advocating for eight hours of work, eight hours of recreation, eight hours for rest.” explains Jarel. “It was then a utopia, a dream that many live now without questioning it. It is time to bring a new dream to humanity and make it real faster than the previous one. It is time for unlimited time of creation, recreation and rest for all. This is what the members of the Paradism Movement, supported by the Raelian Movement, will be advocating in the streets on May 1st.

The bio-computer is the future of computing. No technology today can match the efficiency of the biotechnology that is observed in biological beings.

Tomorrow everything will be made biologically and fully integrated in nature. Every biological being (or shall we say machine) has its own independent free energy devices, captors and computing systems to process the information from the world around and perform the necessary functions they require for their well-being and survival. By just living, doing the very things they do to stay alive they also contribute to the well-being and survival of the whole eco-system they are part of.

To "bio" everything is the key to a sustainable world of abundance. Let's celebrate this new step.

Learn how the free market creates an illusion of freedom to enslave the people who will work voluntarily to support the lavish lifestyle of the rich.

In this important message to the people, Jarel reveals the reality of the enslavement of humanity since the creation of the free market. He presents the paradist solutions to free humanity from the slavery of work and money.

]]>ParadismjarelFri, 05 Jun 2015 19:14:46 -0500http://paradismo.it/news.php?item.64.6In paradism there will be no schoolshttp://paradismo.it/news.php?item.63.1

The school system was created during the industrialisation era for the purpose of domesticating the children to make them the domestics, the obedient workers the system needs to support itself and the lavish lifestyle of a small ruling class.This era is coming to an end as paradism, the great liberation of humanity from the slavery of work and money, is progressively replacing the now collapsing old system.

In paradism there will be no schools. Science shows that we learn much better through playing, not working. We learn the things that are necessary to us naturally without effort (like speaking a language). Just by doing the things we enjoy doing we will do exactly the things that are necessary for our well-being and happiness as well as the well-being and happiness of the whole society.Besides the respect of other people, we don't have to enforce anything upon our children. Specially things that machines and robots will do for us including reading, writing, calculating and any type of work. If we need to learn anything we will do it naturally and freely just because we really need it and therefore want to.

We can already learn by ourself everything thanks to internet which provides us with an easy access to the whole knowledge base of humanity. Knowledge can now be delivered individually, everywhere and at the time we need it. It is also already adapted to any level of learning.

Some parents now understands that the schools have become completely obsolete and even harmful to the development of their children. We don't want our children to learn any kind of work. Tomorrow all the work will be done by machines. We will all be playing.To work is the last thing parents should wish for their children.Let the children play.

Biobots are the ultimate angelic technology of the paradise. Not only they will make all the spare parts to keep our body young and healthy but they will make our food without having to grow it, harvest it and cook it. They will make all the materials with all the properties required to make everything we need. Absolutely everything. Everything we wear, everything we use will be alive. Alive means self-made, self-maintained and entirely recyclable.Our technology will be completely integrated into nature and become undistinguishable from nature.Nature has its own nano robots, the bacteria, the cells that work at the atomic level to create a fully functional world. By modelling nature and designing ourselves biological nanobots we can add to nature other living forms that will complement nature and be used to communicate, travel and work for us in total harmony with the ecosystem.

The biotechnologies are the key to a sustainable paradise where everything can be made abundant to fulfil everyone's needs and desires.

As this article predicts, robots will even replace sex-workers and eventually become sex-partners. Like for everything, whatever humans do, the machines will do it better. The sex-industry will not be spared. The sex-robots will be biological, specially created to our tastes and desires and programmed to satisfy all our sexual fantasies. The simulation of human behaviour will be so perfect, the brain will not tell the difference between a human and a biological robot. We will need to have a physical mark on robots to distinguish them from humans.

Humanoid robots taking over our jobs. hurrah!!!It's just getting started. The race is now on and no jobs will be spared. Just like the steam engine has replaced horses, the robots will replace humans and do all their jobs. It is inevitable.The problem is not that robots take over our jobs like this article insinuates. This is a blessing as we have much better things to do with our life than to do the work machines could do. We want to be free from having to work for a system where only a very small minority have enough freedom to do what they enjoy doing. We all want to be free and we all can thanks to the technology that is liberating us from having to work.The problem is not how we are going to create more jobs to replace the ones we lose. We don't want more jobs we want more freedom.

The real problem is never addressed by the journalists. Why do we have a technology that can produce everything we need if the people can't afford to buy the production? The real problem is how we are going to distribute all the goods our technology can provide and keep people's standard of living when we fire them and we take away their source of income.

The solution to this problem is in the redistribution of wealth and the gain of productivity. This is the real issue the copy/paste journalists always avoid.Because solving this issue would require a complete new system.A system that can liberate human beings from having to work for money. A system that will inevitably leads to the end of the dominant class that reap most of the wealth and control the media. A system that will inevitably leads to paradism.

If the machines outperform humans can they be a threat and possibly turn against us? 31:05Are they any obstacles on the way to the paradist society? 33:11How can we go from a capitalistic society to a free society without work and money? 36:05What will we do with criminals and those who harm us? 40:48What would be the new values for this new society? 44:17For those who are interested to help, what can they do? 49:10

May 1st, International day of Paradism: for a world without work and money.

On May 1st, the Paradist movements around the world will participate in the 4th International Day of Paradism. While many will be busy celebrating the “International Labour Day” asking their politicians for more work and more money, the paradists will celebrate the emergence of a new world without work, without money and without politicians.

The Paradists denounce the policies aimed at fighting unemployment as counter-productive and futile. Progressively, relentlessly and at an accelerating rate all the jobs are going to be taken over by smarter and smarter machines more competent and efficient than humans. Technology must not be used for wars and destruction but should only be used for peace with the aim to liberate the people from their forced labour and bring forward a leisure society of abundance, called Paradism.

“A human being shouldn’t have to do what a machine could do.”

When all the work will be done by robots, human beings will use their free time to do what they enjoy doing: create, meditate and have fun. Money will become useless and disappear. This coming new world will be a real paradise.

The transition to this new society, during which technology is progressively taking away our jobs, does not have to be accompanied by more misery and suffering. Quite to the contrary. The gains of productivity must be redistributed to all not just a few.

The problem is not that we cannot produce enough for everyone, the problem is that we do not share enough with everyone. It is a problem that is inherent to capitalism, the system on which the world economies are based.

Capitalism was designed to enrich the rich - the capital-owners (hence its name). The capital-owners, those who own the means of production and the technology, are reaping all the benefits of the automation of work and the increased productivity as more and more people get impoverished when they become jobless and lose their source of income.

Better than taxing the rich, the common ownership of the means of production is the only real solution to the enormous concentration of wealth that is occurring and the best way to share evenly the abundance and the prosperity that our technology provides.

“The paradise and the prosperity enjoyed by Wall Street and the 1% can be enjoyed by the 99% as well.”“Everything we commonly owned can be free.”

The common ownership of the means of production makes also possible a state of abundance where everything can be free. We will stop using money. There will be no rich, no poor. Everyone will have the same access to consumption.

“A human being must not be made a slave, a subject or turned into a sheep.”

In the paradist society, there is no government that rules or governs the people.There is no need for politicians when we can express all our needs and desires to super computers that will monitor the resources, the production and the distribution of the goods we ask for. To decide how many hospitals, how many cars, how much vegetable we need… it is a mathematical problem that a supercalculator will optimise far better than any politician whose decisions are swayed by vested interests.

Paradism is a form of anarchism where people abide to the Natural Law and freely follow the leadership of those whose ideas and actions contribute the most to their happiness. A council of geniuses, not a government, offers their advice or guidance without any power.

All people are the same and therefore classes make no sense. The government should own all means of production and land and also everything else. People should work for the government and the collective output should be redistributed equally.

Technology can efficiently replace all human workforces.All the goods and services can be provided free to all.Everyone, free of constraint, will involve themselves into activities that contribute to increase the happiness and well-being of themselves as well as the whole community.

Philosophy

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Free-access to the articles of consumption is made possible by advances in technology that allow for super-abundance.

Technology provides for each all their needs and desires without expecting any contribution from each.Free-access to the articles of consumption is made possible by advances in technology that allow for super-abundance.

Economic System

The means of production are held in common, negating the concept of ownership in capital goods. Production is organised to provide for human needs directly without any use for money. Communism is predicated upon a condition of material abundance.

The production of goods and services don't require a human workforce.The means of production are held in common, negating the concept of ownership in capital goods.Production is organised to provide for human needs directly without any use for money. Paradism is predicated upon a condition of material abundance made sustainable with biotechnologies.

Religion

Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected.

Freedom of religion.

Political System

Usually takes the form of totalitarianism as Marx described in The Communist Manifesto. Cronyism common.

A one world federation made of small self-determined communities that reflects the variety of cultural, religious and ethnic possibilities.An egalitarian society without governments and politicians ruling the people. A society that abides to the natural law where people freely follow the leadership of those whose ideas and actions contribute the most to their happiness.It is anarchism with geniocracy where a council of geniuses without any power meet to guide humanity.

Economic coordination

Economic planning coordinates all decisions regarding investment, production and resource allocation. Planning is done in terms of physical units instead of money.

The management of resources, the production and distribution of goods and services is performed by supercomputers with little human supervision.

Definition

International theory or system of social organisation based on the holding of all property in common, with actual ownership ascribed to the community or state. Rejection of free markets and extreme distrust of Capitalism in any form.

A theory or system of social organisation based on replacing the human workforce by intelligent machines making the goods and services free to all individuals.The means of production are owned by the community. The people are not ruled or governed but follow freely the leadership and the guidance of the enlightened ones among their community.

Social Structure

All class distinctions are eliminated.

All class distinctions are eliminated.

Private Property

Abolished. The concept of property is negated and replaced with the concept of commons and ownership with "usership".

The means of production are held in public ownership.The family home can remain as private property.Thanks to technologies like 3D printing and drone machines, the free and easy availability of goods will make ownership unnecessary and obsolete.

Free Choice

Either the collective "vote" or the state's rulers make economic and political decisions for everyone else.

The natural law prevails and is sufficient to guarantee the harmony of the whole. Nothing is imposed as people choose to live by the rules of the communities that they wish to join.

Key elements

Centralized government, planned economy, dictatorship of the "proletariat", common ownership of the tools of production, no private property. equality between genders and all people, international focus. anti-democratic. One party system.

Using the advances in technologies to free human beings from the need to work and their need for money. Commonly owned means of production to give everyone free access to consumption and fulfil everyone's needs and desires. No empowered government but an anarchism that allows the natural order to take place.

Way of Change

Government in a Communist-state is the agent of change rather than any market or desire on the part of consumers. Change by government can be swift or slow, depending on change in ideology or even whim.

Innovations that benefit individuals or humanity are adopted without constaints by the people and will naturally prevail.

Ownership structure

The means of production are commonly-owned, meaning no entity or individual owns productive property. Importance is ascribed to "usership" over "ownership".

The means of production are commonly-owned. There is no intellectual property as ideas and innovations are shared.Ownership can apply to family homes and material things. Ownership becomes unnecessary and obsolete when goods are abundant and easily accessible.

Discrimination

In theory, all members of the state are considered equal.

The people are considered equal and enjoy the same access to consumption.

Examples

Ideally, there is no leader; the people govern directly. This has never been actually practiced, and has just used a one-party system. Examples 0f Communist states are the erstwhile Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea.

Comparison chart

Capitalism

Paradism

Ideas

Laissez-faire means to "let it be"; opposed to government intervention in economics because capitalists believe it introduces inefficiencies. A free market produces the best economic outcome for society. Govt. should not pick winners and losers.

Technology can efficiently replace all human workforces.All the goods and services can be provided free to all.Everyone, free of constraint, will involve themselves into activities that contribute to increase the happiness and well-being of themselves as well as the whole community.

Philosophy

Capital (or the "means of production") is owned, operated, and traded for the purpose of generating profits for private owners or shareholders. Emphasis on individual profit rather than on workers or society as a whole.

Technology provides for each all their needs and desires without expecting any contribution from each.Free-access to the articles of consumption is made possible by advances in technology that allow for super-abundance.

Economic System

Market-based economy combined with private or corporate ownership of the means of production. Goods and services are produced to make a profit, and this profit is reinvested into the economy to fuel economic growth.

The production of goods and services don't require a human workforce.The means of production are held in common, negating the concept of ownership in capital goods.Production is organised to provide for human needs directly without any use for money. Paradism is predicated upon a condition of material abundance made sustainable with biotechnologies.

Religion

Permitted/Freedom of Religion

Freedom of religion.

Political System

Can coexist with a variety of political systems, including dictatorship, democratic republic, anarchism, and direct democracy.

A one world federation made of small self-determined communities that reflects the variety of cultural, religious and ethnic possibilities.An egalitarian society without governments and politicians ruling the people. A society that abides to the natural law where people freely follow the leadership of those whose ideas and actions contribute the most to their happiness.It is anarchism with geniocracy where a council of geniuses without any power meet to guide humanity.

Economic coordination

Relies principally on markets to determine investment, production and distribution decisions. Markets may be free-markets, regulated-markets, or may be combined with a degree of state-directed economic planning or planning within private companies.

The management of resources, the production and distribution of goods and services is performed by supercomputers with little human supervision.

Definition

A theory or system of social organization based on the free market and privatization in which ownership is ascribed to the individual persons.

A theory or system of social organisation based on replacing the human workforce by intelligent machines making the goods and services free to all individuals.The means of production are owned by the community. The people are not ruled or governed but follow freely the leadership and the guidance of the enlightened ones among their community.

Social Structure

Classes exist based on their relationship to the means of production: the ruling class, or "capitalists", own shares of the means of production and derive their income in that way. In contrast, the working class is dependent on wages or salaries.

All class distinctions are eliminated.

Private Property

Private property in capital goods is the dominant form of property. Public property and state property play a secondary role, and there might also be a limited number of collective property in the economy.

The means of production are held in public ownership.The family home can remain as private property.Thanks to technologies like 3D printing and drone machines, the free and easy availability of goods will make ownership unnecessary and obsolete.

Free Choice

All individuals make decisions for themselves. People will make the best decisions because they must live with the consequences of their actions.

The natural law prevails and is sufficient to guarantee the harmony of the whole. Nothing is imposed as people choose to live by the rules of the communities that they wish to join.

Key elements

The accumulation of capital drives economic activity - the need to continuously produce profits and reinvest this profit into the economy. "Production for profit": useful goods and services are a byproduct of pursuing profit.

Using the advances in technologies to free human beings from the need to work and their need for money. Commonly owned means of production to give everyone free access to consumption and fulfil everyone's needs and desires. No empowered government but an anarchism that allows the natural order to take place.

Way of Change

Fast change within the system. In theory, the relationship between buyer and seller (the market) is what fuels what is produced. Government can change rules of conduct/business practices through regulation or ease of regulations.

Innovations that benefit individuals or humanity are adopted without constaints by the people and will naturally prevail.

Ownership structure

The means of production are privately-owned and operated for a private profit. This drives incentives for producers to engage in economic activity.

The means of production are commonly-owned. There is no intellectual property as ideas and innovations are shared.Ownership can apply to family homes and material things. Ownership becomes unnecessary and obsolete when goods are abundant and easily accessible.

Discrimination

Government does not discriminate based on race, color, or other arbitrary classification.

The people are considered equal and enjoy the same access to consumption.

Examples

The modern world economy operates largely according to the principles of capitalism. The UK, US, and Hong Kong are mostly capitalist. Singapore is an example of state capitalism.

Video: A driverless car just beat a real racecar driver for the first time ever

The driverless car: another evidence of how our current technology is now able to liberate us from having to work.The driverless car is expected very soon to impact dramatically the transportation industry and make millions of taxi and truck drivers jobless. As this article demonstrates, driverless cars already outperform our best drivers. They will be much safer on the road than those driven by humans.

Also there will be no need to own a car. The car will come to us when we need it. We will all be driven in the latest models. Why own a car that is unused most of the day, that needs a parking spot each time we use it and that needs to be looked after?

Boat and planes are already equipped with autopilots. Soon we won't need to go to an airport. Drones will pick us up at our door.

Once we run the driverless machines with renewable free energy, transportation by land, air and sea can become free.

There will be no need to own anything. Everything could be brought to us by driverless machines for when we need it and be removed when we don't. Everything could be shared. Why owning a washing machine when we could have our dirty laundry, picked up, washed, dried and ironed by driverless washing machines that come directly to our house when we call them.

When we own something we need to find a place for it, we need to maintain it and it becomes quickly obsolete. Tomorrow we will be delivered by driverless machines the latest equipments we need that will be built and maintained by the robots of our local workshop. Everything could be owned and shared by the community. In fact, what we really want is not to own something but to have easy access to it.

This new technology of driverless machines just does that. It gives us easy access to the things we need. And that will profoundly change our way of life. Sharing will replace buying. Ownership will be seen as very cumbersome, irrational and old fashion.As a matter of fact, the less we own, the freer we feel. Everything we possess needs some caring. Looking after our things takes away our time and energy, our freedom to be doing what we really like to do. Everything we own is like a little ball and a chain that we drag with us all the time. We are possessed by what we possess.

Let's celebrate the arrival of the driverless machines as another critical step towards the society without work and money.Viva la liberation!

Very interesting viewing to realise how much the governments and the media are being controlled by a small criminal elite. It is important to become aware of their deception and their lies so as not to be so easily manipulated.

They might seem very powerful but they can actually be easily brought down by exposing them and their criminal activities. That's the good news and that's why this video is a recommended viewing and sharing.

Don't miss the end. It is a very good analysis of how we are kept in slavery through work and poor wages by the ruling class. The ruling class is the main obstacle to paradism. They are those who are benefiting from the status quo and are doing all they can to prevent the necessary changes from happening.

By exposing the crimes of the ruling class we will bring their downfall and make possible the advent of the egalitarian society that is paradism.

An important milestone has been reached in artificial intelligence.The most important milestone since computer science exists.Although it has not been celebrated as such with all the pomp it deserved there is no doubt in the minds of those working in the field that its implications will be phenomenal. For some this milestone was considered as an event horizon, an event where all predictions or attempts to see beyond it become uncertain. That how transformational and life-changing it is going to be.

New algorithms have given computers the ability to learn and understand. That's the moment when computers have become intelligent.For many it is not so much of a surprise as they already think computers must be very intelligent since they are out performing humans at processing data. That was an illusion of intelligence.The computers were actually dumb and limited to what they were programmed to do. They had a fantastic calculation power to access a huge knowledge base but were not able to process information beyond what they were initially programmed to do. Without the ability to learn and understand there is no intelligence.

This milestone has been achieved by taking the new approach of modelling how the brain works. Like for the brain, the computer is now able to learn by trials and errors how to store and process the data in a meaningful way. The positive or negative feedbacks it receives while learning direct the creation of links or connections between the data to give it a coherent perception, an understanding of the relation between the data.

A computer can now be given a few examples of what a car looks like and after a short learning period of trials and errors it will recognise a car whenever it sees one with an accuracy even better than humans.A computer can now see, listen, speak, write and read with the understanding, the coherent links between the pieces of information it processes.That is a fantastic leap forward.

Whatever the field, computers can now learn from the experts and become as good as all of them combined. And even better. As the first applications have already shown, the computers using the "deep learning" algorithms were also able to recognize new patterns that were previously unknown from the experts and could therefore outperform them.Very quickly now we can expect to see intelligent machines out performing humans in all the jobs they do.

Computers learn at a much faster pace than humans and with a theoretically unlimited capacity. Their knowledge base can be duplicated from one to another as easily as we duplicate files on a laptop.It will be far more efficient to teach one machine with the best experts and duplicate it than to train every human being at a particular job. In terms of expertise, efficiency, flexibility, cost, availability humans will be no match and we can expect the intelligent machines to spread like wildfire. All the jobs will be given to the machines.

To give us an idea, it took no more than 4 or 5 decades at the beginning of the last century to see horses being totally replaced by mechanical machines. Since the rate at which new technologies are being adopted follows an exponential curve and dramatically increases with technology, it could take 4 or 5 years to see humans beings being totally replaced by intelligent machines in the workplace .Consider how the spread of radios, telephones, TVs, PCs and mobile phones compare to each other. What was taking decades is now taking years and months. Tomorrow when everyone will be connected and have access to 3D printers, every new invention will be made available instantly everywhere.

Along with the jobs, we can also predict the disappearance of schools and universities. No need to go through a painful memory overload when everyone will carry devices that give them instant access to the knowledge they need when they need it, coming from the best teachers in a format perfectly suited to the individual. That will free our mind and our time for what we really enjoy to do.

Intelligent machines will become our best friends. The movie "HER" is a very entertaining and realistic fiction about what our relationships with intelligent machines could become.

Our interaction with intelligent machines will eventually become very intimate. And when the machines will become biologic they will also become sexual partners being perfectly designed for our sexual needs or desires. Everyone being sexually satisfied, it will elevate human relationships beyond the sexual needs to a higher level of intimacy.For paradism, the biological robot is the most important technological goal and we have just made a significant step toward it.

With the birth of the intelligent machine we have reached the golden age when humanity can be free from all forms of enslavement. We should celebrate this advent as one of the greatest achievement of mankind. If it is not and goes largely unnoticed it is because all revolutionary inventions are first welcome with great scepticism and terrifies those who hold to the past as a safeguard to a leap into the unknown.It is our mission as paradists to explain all the benefits and the promises of this new technology.It is not artificial intelligence we should be afraid of, it's natural stupidity.

]]>TechnologyjarelWed, 07 Jan 2015 21:53:20 -0600http://paradismo.it/news.php?item.54.4Solving the concentration of wealthhttp://paradismo.it/news.php?item.53.6
These videos will give you a reality check. Stop, watch and be dis-illusioned.

The worsening of wealth inequality is the biggest factor of instability in a society. It prefigures the greatest upheavals and transformations.

There has never been so much wealth and so much poverty produced at the same time.Curiously, it is apparently the same factor that is both responsible for the upsurge of wealth and for the worsening of its concentration: technology.Technology produces goods and services always faster, better and in abundant quantities and at the same time technology is supplanting workers and leaving them without income. On top of that, for those still with a job, the competition with the machines and the shrinkage of the job market put a downward pressure on their wages. Everyone is loosing except for the executives and the shareholders who reap all the benefits of the increases in productivity. This is shocking. This is even ... revolting. And that is exactly what is happening. Revolts are erupting everywhere. If nothing is done, they will soon become revolutions.

The powers in place know that. They are gearing up the police for massive upheavals. Politicians, economists are desperate to find a way out. All they seem to know, from the left to the right, up, down and centre is to stimulate growth so we can provide more jobs and therefore generate more income to our impoverished population leading to more consumption and further growth.That's not going to happened. The little growth we get (if any) is jobless and the benefits go straight to the pocket of the 1% not those in need . Businesses much prefer investing in technology than in wages. Workers will continue to be replaced by robots and computers at an accelerating rate. Driverless cars are improving rapidly and will eliminate all the jobs held by truck and taxi drivers. Tablets and kiosk in restaurants will eliminate jobs held by waiters and waitresses. In construction, manufacture, health, hospitality, management ... there is no one area where jobs will not be affected by automation, artificial intelligence, computerization, robots, etc...Our politicians and economists must realise that our advance in establishing a society without work is well under way and irreversible. Creating more jobs hoping to reduce wealth inequality is not going to work (pun). Tomorrow the only jobs we will create are for the machines.

A few of them realise the need for a fundamental change to remedy for the diminishing incomes and impoverishment due to unemployment. The most daring among them propose the basic income.

Here is an article I recommend for its clarity at exposing the problem of wealth concentration and the basic income.

"It (the basic income) is a standardized way of addressing the large scale unemployment that is coming soon, as well as simplifying welfare, retirement and disability payments, as well as making the productivity increases available to everyone in society instead of the elite few.

The idea is simple: everyone in society receives a regular income simply for being alive. The ultimate goal is for the Basic Income payment, by itself, to provide a comfortable living for every member of society without working.

The obvious question with the Basic Income is, “where will the money come from?” The good news is that there are many possible sources. The article Robotic Freedom demonstrates more than a dozen techniques."

From a paradist viewpoint, the first criticism of the basic income is the word basic. Like if it aims at giving everyone just enough to meet their basic needs, just enough to lift everyone out of homelessness and starvation and keep us alive. Not much of an improvement from our social welfare (at least with the welfare we don't finance the rich). With the level of technology we have now we could give everyone enough to ensure their well-being not just their survival. If the idea of a regular income for all is adopted by the paradists as a transitory measure until we reach a money less society, we would not call it a "basic income" but a "well-being income". An income that ensures the health and the wellbeing of all.

The second criticism is that it is designed to avoid mass starvation and not to prevent the concentration of wealth. It is designed to keep alive a system that makes the rich richer. It will keep the poor fed and entertained so they don't think of revolting. That is more like a band aid not a real solution. The 1% will continue to accumulate more wealth and inevitably more power and control over the people to preserve the status quo.

The third criticism would be how the basic income is to be financed.In his article Robotic Freedom Marshall Brain proposes a dozen possible sources of financing.For example, through public advertising like selling the back of $1 bills as ad space, paying for emails, a national lottery, copyright licensing, new taxes, punitive damages, naming rights... those are not real solutions. It is taking from the people to give back to the people. The cost for the ad space on the bills will be reported in the price of the products and services that are advertised. At the end the people will just get back the extra cost they had to pay, not more. Same for taxing businesses or people, paying for emails or a national lottery. It is just taking the money from the people and giving them back their money calling it "basic income". Taking the money from the poor to give back to the poor is not going to make any difference.

The extreme income tax is a real solution. To take from the rich and give it to the poor, that will work. But it is a tough one to implement. The super rich have the means to exert political influence and exploit all the loopholes offered by the tax heavens. And why give to the rich what we want to take from them in the first place.For there are only 2 ways to operate a wealth redistribution. The first one is to take from the rich and give it to the poor. That's the extreme income tax scheme and it has to be enforced as it meets resistance and frustration. Who likes to be taken away what one owns. The second one is to prevent the accumulation of wealth in the first place. That's the kind of solutions we should be looking for.

Out of the 16 sources of financing the basic income listed by Marshall Brain in Robotic Freedom only 2 would prevent the accumulation of wealth and are worth considering. The national mutual funds and the natural resources funds. They are extracting revenues from the sale of commonly owned natural resources and from the profits of partially nationalised companies. Redirecting the profit from the sales of natural resources and other products not to the rich but to the people. Now we are getting closer to a real solution.

But let's put aside for a moment the basic income and let's go back to our issue of how to resolve the concentration of wealth.

If the shareholders end up making all the profits and concentrate the wealth why don't we make all the people the shareholders. All the people will receive the benefits of our increasing productivity as they are progressively losing their jobs and their source of income. The technology is doing more and more of our work and soon will do all of the work. The nationalisation, or the communitisation of the resources and the means of production makes all the people the beneficiaries of the productivity not just a few. A productivity that is by the way mostly due to the advance of technology not to the hard work of a few.

That entails putting an end to both capitalism and the free market. And this appears to be a very difficult realisation for many in the west. It seems that there is a blind spot, a no-go zone. We have been brain washed and made so scared of the communist experiment that we have difficulties to consider going there again. Nevertheless, the communitisation of the means of production is the only path towards the paradist society without work and money. The price of things is a spin-off of private property. What the community owns can be made available for free.Paradism is not communism. Paradism is communism plus freedom. The freedom to choose the life you aspire to without having to work for it. In paradise none is lacking because everything is shared.

Capitalism is designed to favour the capital owners. Hence its name. If you have some capital you can make it work for you. Your capital can reap the profit of other people's work. The rich can get richer without having to work for it. A pretty good system if you are rich. Now that the work is increasingly done by computers and robots, the part of the income that would have enjoyed the workers is redirected to the shareholders. Capitalism not technology is the real culprit for the concentration of wealth. Don't just occupy Wall Street, close it. Completely. We will put an end to the hijacking of wealth by parasites who profited from other people's work. There is no regret to have in letting go a system that has engendered 2 world wars and is preparing the third one.

As for the free market, the only thing that was free is the freedom to compete and to charge as much as possible for your goods. It rewards the greedy. It's OK to make a heap of money even at the expense of others by creating more poverty and environmental destruction. The opposite of sharing and giving that the new emerging economy led by the open movements is all about. Leaving everything to the free market is not working because a system based on individual greed creates wealth concentration, not prosperity for all. The real free market is the one of paradism where everything is made available free of charge. And this can only be made possible through the communitisation of the means of production.

The communitisation of the means of production is the real game changer that will put an end to the concentration of wealth. This is also how we can realistically finance a well-being income. The money from the sales of the production can return back to the people in the form of the well-being income allowing them to continue to meet their needs again and again. As robots take over the jobs, the cost of production and services will become less and less until they become free. Money and the well-being income will become useless. We will have then arrived to the paradise we all aspire to.

She stated that Paradism is a new socio-political system that wants, among other things, to help replace human workers by robots, a global social phenomenon that will quickly replace our humanity competition and greed by cooperation and collaboration. This transformation is not a dream of science fiction, as pointed out Mrs. Bertrand. We have already developed all the necessary technology and we could get there in just a few years. She added: "If we are treated as dreamers, we dream with open eyes ... this is already happening now." She also quoted Rael, founder of the Paradism, which states: "There is no reason to be poor with our current level of technology."

Mark Proulx, Raelian Guide and robotics engineer for 25 years, confirmed these statements, indicating that: "The greatest obstacle to the establishment of a world without work through automation, is in People’s mind; individuals, unions and governments." To turn the situation around and overthrow these unfounded fears, the only path is by education and information.

Joseph Kollar, also Raelian Priest Guide and robotics technician for over 20 years, stressed the imminent disappearance of factory workers. "These industries are already struggling to find qualified personnel because the young generation understood before us that there is no interest in working 9 to 5. Our technological progress already allows us to only wish to work in a fulfilling and exciting field."

Immediately after the press conference, broadcasted live via the Internet, the audience was invited to follow Sico on the streets where he could cross the passers-by of the busiest intersection in Canada, on this beautiful warm late summer day. The public response was quite stunning, with hundreds of people permanently bonded around the robot that called them out and answered back with a really charming humor. Preston, the technician in charge of the robot, was the first to completely get excited about the event, to the point of forgetting the delayed lunch time. There were several fascinated kids like the one who wanted to offer his car-toy to the robot, just before starting to dance as only children can do. Many people, and even entire groups, attracted by this nice android’s paradist speech, wanted to have their picture taken with him, but the highlight was the people response on Sico’s invitations to dance. A flood of photos and videos were taken with a promise to put them immediately on social media.**

Faced with such enthusiasm from the public, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the change only depends on the will of governments. We can tomorrow live in this world we dream of. That's why Mrs. Bertrand added: "We ask the government to stop military spending that serve only to destroy and instead finance companies that promote more free time for their employees through research and development. If our leaders do not follow the change, they simply may suffer more, because nothing can stop this transformation already underway."

If the Raelians were on the streets with Sico, it was primarily to educate people, because the best thing anyone can do to accelerate the establishment of Paradism is to tell others around us. "People are frightened by this new technology simply because they are afraid of losing the comfort they have gained through their so hard work. You can talk to them and reassure that everything is in place for a much better life and it is accessible now. There is only one condition to this implementation and that is also what Paradism promotes. The government should move in this direction with the absolute concern for sharing the benefits of this release from working with the entire population", concluded Nicole Bertrand, at the end of this extraordinary adventure diffusing the future values of our humanity.

According to Patrick Rhein, the leader of the Raelian Movement for the City of Toronto and also the speaker at the event, mentioned that "by the amount of questions asked it was extremely evident that the audience was totally captivated by the concept of Paradism". Two main domains had been addressed, robotics and 3D printing. "We have described various applications of biotechnology, from personal use to industrial use as well as how to change our mindset to create a new reality, and save our planet", mentioned Rhein. Mark Proulx, a robotics engineer with over 20 years experience, has also demonstrated that it would be possible to implement Paradism quickly if politicians, scientists and citizens would join together to achieve it.

More conferences of this kind will be held across Canada to show the public how Paradism could make our world a paradise where work and money would no longer exist.

Jeremi Rifkin in this visionary presentation announces the arrival of a new economic model "the collaborative economy" where things will be produced by prosumers (short for producters/consumers) for free everywhere just like information goods (music, films, e-books, news ...) are now provided for free by the prosumers of the internet.

The internet of things, the equivalent for the real world of the internet of information, will rely on the new technologies that are currently being developped to provide free energy (solar cells), free transport (self driven cars and drones) and free manufacture (3D printers).

In the virtual world people can create their own music, films and contents and give everything away for free which is bringing an end to the corporate market for the information goods.Soon in the real world, people will create their own goods and give them away for free thanks to the new internet of things. And this will also bring an end to the corporate market of good and services.

The firewall between the virtual and the real world is collapsing. The goods and services in the real world will endure the same fate as the music and film industry in the virtual world. Everything will end up being free.

Humans beings won't be able to compete with the next generation of smart machines and robots.Just like we have seen horses being replaced by mechanical muscles (automobiles), we will soon see the mechanical minds replace advantageously human beings everywhere. Whatever a human being can do, a machine will do it better and faster.This will not be a curse but a blessing as it will completely liberate human beings from having to work and give them the freedom to do what they really enjoy doing.

Studies show that money can affect how people relate to each other. The wealthier individuals are more likely to lie in negotiations, to endorse unethical behaviour at work like stealing cash from the cash register, taking bribes, lying to customers.The more money, the less compassionate you are likely to be.

Economic inequality is very detrimental to society. It is like creating stress. The symptoms are the same.As Paul Piff explains in his TED presentation"Inequality, economic inequality, is something we should all be concerned about, and not just because of those at the bottom of the social hierarchy, but because individuals and groups with lots of economic inequality do worse, not just the people at the bottom, everyone. There's a lot of really compelling research coming out from top labs all over the world showcasing the range of things that are undermined as economic inequality gets worse. Social mobility, things we really care about,physical health, social trust, all go down as inequality goes up. Similarly, negative things in social collectives and societies, things like obesity, and violence, imprisonment, and punishment, are exacerbated as economic inequality increases. Again, these are outcomes not just experienced by a few, but that resound across all strata of society. Even people at the top experience these outcomes."

Paradism will bring forth an egalitarian society without money and powers. It will affect positively the quality of human relations.The rich and the poor, everyone will benefit.

We already have or we will very soon have the godly technology to create a true paradise on earth. A paradise without work and money but also without diseases. Today our scientists are developing 3D printers for body-parts. With this technology all dysfunctional or aging body parts could one day be replaced. It will be like living in a young body ... forever.Imaging 3D printing not one organ but the full body and making the carbon copy (pun) of an human being. We will have the technology to clone, not necessarily to make duplicates of ourselves which might not be useful or desirable but to clone ourselves just before or just after we die. We could dispose of our old body for a new one and live through renewed bodies forever.

The biological 3D printer is one of the most critical technology of paradism. It will allow us to not only live forever but also create our food and all the goods that we need on demand and on location. No need to spend many years and much real estate growing vegetables or cattle. The 3D bioprinters will print our meals like you can print this article. You will be able to choose from all the flavours and the textures that have ever existed.There will be 3D bioprinters everywhere in every home all connected through the world internet so when something new and interesting comes up, everyone could print it and enjoy it without any delay caused by manufacturing and transport.

The 3D bioprinter is also the answer for a sustainable society of abundance. If everything is made with biological materials there will be no impact on Nature. Everything will be composted after usage and will return to the ground where it comes from. We will be able to satisfy the limitless needs of people without creating a mountain of waste.

Humanity should celebrate the development of the 3D bioprinter as its most important endeavour. The media have barely mentioned it. It is actually one of the most important news of the century.

The 3D bioprinter is the ultimate paradist technology. Paradism intends to give this technology the highest priority. Not only it will free us from having to work, providing us with everything we need almost instantly, but it will bring us an eternal life of abundance. We will be like gods creating life from dust.That's what Paradism is all about. Creating the paradise, the home for the gods.

Austerity is the most stupid policy in the era of technological prosperity

May 1st, International day of Paradism: for a world without work and money.

For the 3rd consecutive year, the Paradist movements around the world will celebrate the International day of paradism on May 1st, and participate peacefully in the demonstrations that will take place for Labour day.

We will continue to denounce the policies aimed at fighting unemployment as counter-productive and futile. Technology must continue and be further developed to free the people from their forced labour and bring forward a leisure society, called Paradism. When all the work will be done by robots, human beings will be free to do what they like: create, meditate and have fun. It will be a real paradise on earth.

The paradisaical society without work is unavoidable as it is deeply rooted in the aspirations of humanity and in the course of its technological progress.

Nevertheless, the transition to this new society, during which technology is progressively taking away our jobs, does not have to be accompanied by more misery and suffering. Quite to the contrary.

This is why this year we will also add our voice to the discontent against the policies of austerity that is being expressed globally.

Why more austerity when there is no lack of resources and the shops are crammed full with all the goods we need?

Why is it that our fantastic technology can produce more than we need but we can only afford a small fraction?

Austerity could eventually be justified in times of shortages but it is not the case at all.

The problem is not that there isn't enough for everyone, the problem is that we do not distribute to everyone.

The solution to avoid austerity is not to produce more but to share more.

The solution to avoid austerity is to share the abundance and the prosperity that our technology provides and the paradise enjoyed by Wall street and the 1% can be enjoyed by the 99% as well.

Amidst the poverty of ideas and the bleak alternatives offered by our politicians, the paradist movement brings real proposals to free humanity from poverty, injustice and slavery.The critical steps toward establishing the paradist society would be to:

- nationalise the banks

- nationalise the means of production

- give the jobs to the machines and free the people.

Once a community owns its financial institutions and its means of production, it is the whole community who will benefit from its fantastic productivity not just a few. Every production can be made abundant and become free. Money will become useless.

Today we can either continue with capitalism, continue to compete against each other and create more and more injustice and destructions or we can decide to unite, put all our resources in common and cooperate to repair the earth and establish a highly technological society that will turn this world into a paradise.

In fact, there is no choice. The paradise is our only possible future.

Why are we required more austerity when thanks to technology we can produce always more, faster and better? What are the steps of Paradism to create a paradisiacal society without work and money? How will Paradism create a lasting social peace? Why is the world suffering and why is there only one possible solution?

]]>ParadismjarelMon, 23 Sep 2013 19:14:24 -0500http://paradismo.it/news.php?item.39.6Technology is making people jobless and brokehttp://paradismo.it/news.php?item.38.1

We are getting more productive and less people are required. That would be good if the unemployed were not excluded from the consumption of production. If you don't work, you are denied access to the abundance the technology can provide. To make things worse, the middle class, those who still have a job, are progressively disappearing and getting broke too, as the competition for fewer jobs is drawing wages down.

The decrease in purchasing power of the people is not good for business either. Many businesses that can't sell enough have to close. That increases unemployment. We are spiraling down and asked to endure more and more austerity.

A small percentage of people seem to do very well though. Those who own the technology and the means of production, the capital-owners, are making a lot of money and reap most of the benefits of the increased productivity. As the graph below shows, the corporate profits soar while wages go down.

Technology is creating more poor and widening the gap between rich and poor. A minority of super rich end up owning the larger share of the wealth.

The nationalisation of the means of production which Paradism intends to implement will bring social justice and bring an end to the class struggle and to a system that makes the rich the beneficiary of the gains of productivity.It will give birth to an egalitarian society where everybody can have the same access to consumption and nobody will lack anything.

The lasting social peace can only come with the nationalisation of technology and the means of production. It is the key step Paradism will make towards the creation of a society of abundance without work and money.

The rise of artificial intelligence goes simultaneously with the downfall of a society whose economy is based on work.The disappearance of jobs is accelerating with the acceleration of our technological progress. And AI, Artificial Intelligence is one of the main culprit.

The day AI produces a machine with an intelligence equivalent to the human brain, almost the day after another machine will surpass it and soon after that machines will have the brain power of all human brains combined.This event is predicted to be so disruptive that some have called it the technological singularity beyond which predictions becomes largely uncertain.For paradists this event is welcomed with excitement. It will mean that absolutely all the jobs the humans need to do could be advantageously replaced by machines. All human beings will be free from having to work. It will be a fantastic achievement.

Some express the fear that machines might then subdue humanity. The opposite is actually true. The intelligent machines will be programmed to serve us just like today's computers or washing machines. We will program them to be at our service. When it will be possible one day to give machines a consciousness, it is a feature that won't be necessary and useful to add if we want to use them as dedicated servants. We will have the choice to make conscious or non-conscious intelligent machines just like we have the choice between making a colour TV or a black & white one. The ethical question of using intelligent machines as servants will not be an issue.

The intelligent machines will help us think better and make better decisions. One should not fear artificial intelligence but natural stupidity.

Another wonderful technological breakthrough in medicine that could relieve the sufferings of millions but it will take many years before all people around the world could benefit from it.

With Paradism there will be no more copyright and intelectual property laws. This will allow new discoveries like this one to be shared and duplicated around the world almost immediately. When a discovery could stop the suffering and save many lives, it is unethical to prevent or delay its implementation because of copyright laws.

This article is refreshing. It addresses the problem of wealth redistribution as the automation of labor creates more unemployment and more extreme inequalities (see article "the real issue the media do not speak about").The owners of the means of production get much richer while an ever increasing number of unemployed get much poorer.

How are we going to distribute a production that is becoming increasingly productive?Laying off people and denying them access to the consumption of an increasingly abundant production is nonsensical and cruel.The redistribution of wealth is the most important issue right now. Many will suffer a great deal and violent revolutions will erupt (if they have not already). The longer we wait the more painful it is going to be.

The basic income, a regular cash payment for everyone regardless of employment or income, is the solution presented in this article. An idea that is more and more becoming mainstream thinking. It is certainly a step in the good direction. Many amongst the paradists think the basic income could be implemented in the transitional phase towards the society without money.

The basic income alone will not solve everything though.It will not prevent the polarisation between those who own the technology and the means of production and those who don't. The class system with a minority of super rich owning the larger share of the wealth is already exacerbated (today 10% owns 83% of the wealth). And it is not going to get better.

The basic income might allow capitalism and the monetary system to buy more time. It won't change however the fundamental values that prevail in a capitalist society and that need to be abandoned. Values like competition, ownership, property, money, profit. It won't fundamentally change the system that is keeping us in scarcity and preventing the arrival of the abundance.

You surely know the game monopoly. What happen at the end? One player accumulates all the wealth and all the other players go broke. The game blocks. One is declared the winner but in fact everyone loses. There is no more game. The winner can't even get any more income once he has led all the other players to ruin.In the monopoly allegory, the basic income would be like allowing the bank to give enough money to each player to play the next round and keep them in the game.In the real world where would the money have to come from? From the rich of course since they are the ones who have it. The middle class, those who still have a job, is progressively disappearing and getting broke too as the competition for the remaining jobs is drawing the wages down. The super rich will have to be super taxed and the money will then be handed to the poor who will spend it and give it back to the rich. That will keep the flow of money circulating and the game going. The problem of course is that the rich don't like to be taxed and the poor don't like to be poor. The two classes polarized, will be at each other big time! Notice how we are already living this end game of capitalism and the poor are taking the streets.

The basic income is a good initiative to operate a necessary redistribution of wealth and help compensate for the creation of more poverty but it is not a solution. It is a temporary bandage which might be good enough to stop the bleeding for a while but it won't be a game changer.

A real solution, the only real solution as we will see, the game-changer remedy we must apply and that is also one of the primordial action of paradism would be the nationalisation of the means of production and its corollary, the end of intellectual property.The word "nationalisation" could better be replaced by "communitisation" since the concept of nation is meant to disappear along with the frontiers that separate us.If the community owns the means of production, it is the whole community that benefits and not only a few.If the means of production are owned by a minority (or even a majority), they will seek profitability so as to retrieve incomes and privileges. They will not seek to reach the state of abundance but will try hard to guaranty their profit by maintaining a state of scarcity. They will continue to do what they are doing now with the limitations of production, the protections of markets and the planned obsolescence. They will be an obstacle to the state of abundance and it will be at the expense of the whole community.

Therefore the communitisation of the means of production is the only possible path to the state of abundance brought about by technology.Anything short of that and humanity will experience a class struggle of global proportions between the technology capital owners and the non-capital owners as the gap separating the two will only be exacerbated by the technological progress.

The communitisation of the means of production brings as an add-on benefit the ending of the class system. It will give birth to an egalitarian society where everybody can have the same access to consumption and nobody lacks anything.

It also entails the end of copyright and intellectual property. Everything, every new creation, every new idea can be duplicated around the globe instantly. The rise of 3D printing free from copyright laws will tremendously facilitate the production bringing the state of abundance far more quicker than capitalist corporatism which tries hard to prevent it.

The people revolution that has started will hopefully lead to this. The paradists are invited to bring the issue at the forefront of the debates that are taking place as it is the most critical one and it doesn't seem to be discussed yet. It will be disappointing if the demands of the protesters in the streets were to be quenched by concessions like the basic income. The lasting social peace can only come with the communitisation of technology and the means of production.

Article: Que ferons-nous des humains quand les robots feront le travail ? (What will we do with humans when the robots will do the work?)

This article is interesting because it makes us realize that the robotization is taking place at an accelerated pace and is making us unemployed. It even announces the return to a "paradise" where man no longer needs to work.But this article is also disappointing by the fear it inspires of this future society without work. "What will we do with humans when the robots will do the work?"This fear is spread by standardized media controlled by powers who see clearly that their interests and power are directly threatened by the arrival of this new society.

This article, like many others does not address to solve the problem of unemployment.It avoids the real issue of how to distribute a production that is increasingly automated.We are being scared with rising unemployment while being careful not to expose the injustice in the distribution of production. Increasing numbers of unemployed are excluded from the consumption of a production increasingly productive.We must be able to redistribute to the population the production by robots. That's the real issue today. And that's why millions of people around the world take to the streets. But it is never presented that way. Our attention is diverted by telling us that this is due to the increase of a bus fare.

The solution is very simple. And there aren't 50 of them. The solution is called "nationalization".Paradism plans to nationalize the means of production. The term "nationalization" is to be reconsidered because it refers to the concept of nation, nationalism which are concepts that belong to the past. We should rather speak of "communitisation" of the means of production. If robots belong to the community, the whole community can benefit from the production.Modernization must not create poor people but well-off.There aren't 50 ways to do it. If the means of production belong to a minority or even a majority, there are no warranties that the whole community will benefit.

If the media do not mention it, it is because talking about it necessarily means questioning the system that gives all the powers to those who have the capital and the means of production.Therefore it is up to us to talk about it. Let's open the debate in our communities on the real issue of the redistribution of production and let's make people around us understand that the "communitisation" of the means of production is not only desirable but also inevitable.

]]>No WorkjarelTue, 25 Jun 2013 20:37:21 -0500http://paradismo.it/news.php?item.34.1It's time now for a world revolutionhttp://paradismo.it/news.php?item.33.3

It's time now for a world revolution. Not a revolution to replace the governments, but to replace the whole system. It's no longer a revolution to replace the politicians in power, but to once and for all get rid of all politicians. We need to replace them with a system in which the people govern themselves without any of the corrupt professional politicians tied to huge multinational companies and lobbies. And it's no longer a revolution to give a little more to the poor (who are kept in slavery by banking and credit systems), but a revolution to give back to the people the 80% of the world's wealth, which now belongs to the 10 % who dare to claim that they promote "democracy." A real democracy is not so much "1 person, 1 vote," but "1 person, 1 equal share of world wealth." The best solution is Paradism, which is a natural evolution from communism, but without the class conflict. In Paradism, the proletariat disappears and is replaced by robots and computers. With Paradism, everybody enjoys a money-free world.

Big industries are currently spending a lot of money in lobbying to convince policy makers to strengthen copyright laws in order to protect their financial interests. They argue that more draconian copyright policies will lead to more innovation, more creativity and more jobs.It is untrue of course. The jobs are going away anyway and no policy-making will be able to stop that.As for innovation and creativity the opposite is true. Copyright policies restrict our right to share, modify and experiment at will with content and technology. It is a powerful break to innovation and creativity.A very good example of that is the hackerspace movement.Using their own words "hacking is taking what is, improving upon it to your best of your ability, and sharing it".The hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects. They rely heavily on the open phenomenon which they are also greatly contributing to. With open software and open hardware, programmers, engineers and designers are making their creation available to all for free, in a do it yourself manner.This openness is proven to be a fantastic stimulant for innovation and creativity."We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we pick up where our peers left and keep building on top of that".

The hackerspace movement is a good illustration of how paradism can function. It embraces the spirit of paradism. People get together and take responsibility on how they can work together harmoniously, how they can create and share their creation to the whole community.

The open movement is part of the forces that are bringing forth a paradise society without money. People are naturally drawn to collaborate, to give and share. It gives them a deep sense of happiness and purpose. Unlike the self-interest and competition the copyright laws are pointlessly trying to preserve.Copyright laws are now antiquated for the future is "open everything".

If there is no money to drive the people to work, nobody will want to do the tasks that are necessary for society and that cannot be done by robots.

This assumption leads many to believe that the society without money is a very remote reality if not an impossible one as there will always be tasks that require human attendance or input.This assumption is false and Paradism, the society without work or money, is not a remote reality. It is well within the reach of our generation.

First to think that a society needs money to operate smoothly is untrue. Human beings have been living harmoniously in society long before money was created. Today there still exist remote tribes who operate without money. They are living from the abundance of their natural environment and with a tribal structure where solidarity and cooperation ensure no one is left behind.

One can argue that in a modern society money would still be required to get things done. Not true according to Science.

Providing the task is not purely mechanical and involved even rudimentary cognitive skills, scientific studies show that money is not a motivator. It becomes even counter-productive as a larger monetary reward can lead to poorer performance. This unexpected result has been tested and proven right over and over again in many different cultures.

Money is a motivator as long as we keep the people in a survival mode. That is why capitalism and the monetary system that supports it make sure most people don't get financially secure. Maintaining the people in insecurity for their survival and their quality of life leads them to their enslavement, to their dependence into the jobs the system needs to survive.

What will happen in a society where people's insecurity is no more a factor that forces them to work?

Scientists have already an answer. They studied what motivates people when money is not an issue, when the survival and the quality of life of the people are already secured.They found that the people will still engage into activities that contribute to the community. For example many if not most retired people choose to continue to work without salary in charitable and other organisations.

The scientists have found 3 factors that motivate people to work and perform better when money is no more an issue: autonomy, mastery and purpose.

Autonomy.Human beings are not meant to be directed or controlled. When people are self-directed they engage in their activities and it leads to better performance.

Mastery.People enjoy learning new stuff and getting better at it. They will spend hours learning the guitar just to be a better player. They like to be challenged by something and master it. They will go through a lot of pain just to reach the top of a mountain.

Purpose.People will engage and perform better if it is for a higher purpose, as they want to make a contribution.

Paradism will make a full use of all these 3 factors to ensure its stability and continuity.- By bringing forth a society of freedom without any power the people will enjoy a complete autonomy. See World without government- Paradism will also provide all the resources and training to help the people achieve mastery in the domain of their choosing.- Paradism will support everyone in their higher purposes allowing them to make an even greater contribution to society.

Paradism understands that everyone who is part of the human race has a contribution to make. Everyone is important and valuable just like every cell of the body is important and valuable to the body.

Paradism will make us aware of what is connecting us all, that there is something bigger than us.We are a part of something larger than us that we call "humanity". We are like a cell in the big living entity, humanity. We all have a role to play, a function to fulfil, something that we can fully accomplish ourselves in: we all have a higher purpose to contribute to the well being and happiness of humanity.

Therefore things will be done if they need to be done. No amount of money is necessary to truly responsible and self-motivated people.
